Introduction

The basic Olympic principles are forgotten in a rush to the new records, where the means to achieve them are not important, which certainly leads to the dehumanization of sports. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) encourages the development of sports. It cooperates with other sports organizations in order to bring sports at the service of humanity. They realize the Olympic principles through a large number of committees and projects, which are in accordance with the Olympic Charter (IOC, 2016). Under the supreme authority and leadership of the IOC, the Olympic Movement encompasses organizations, athletes and other persons that agree to act in accordance with the Olympic Charter. The goal of the Olympic Movement is to contribute to building a more peaceful and better world by educating young people through sports, and in accordance with the Olympic values (IOC, 2016)
